We prove a nearly optimal bound on the number of stable homotopy types occurring in a k-parameter semi-algebraic family of sets in $\R^\ell$, each defined in terms of m quadratic inequalities. Our bound is exponential in k and m, but…

We review several (and provide new) results on the theory of moments, sums of squares and basic semi-algebraic sets when convexity is present. In particular, we show that under convexity, the hierarchy of semidefinite relaxations for…
Consider in a real Hilbert space $H$ the differential equation (inclusion) $(E)$: $p(t)u^{\prime \prime}(t)+q(t)u^{\prime}(t)\in Au(t)+f(t)$ for a.a. $t>0$, with the condition $(B)$: $u(0)=x \in \overline{D(A)}$, where $A\colon D(A)\subset…

We prove the existence of infinitely many solutions to an elliptic problem by borrowing the techniques from algebraic topology. The solution(s) thus obtained will also be proved to be bounded.
We provide a systematic deterministic numerical scheme to approximate the volume (i.e. the Lebesgue measure) of a basic semi-algebraic set whose description follows a sparsity pattern. As in previous works (without sparsity), the underlying…

In this paper we are concerned with a Gordan-type theorem involving an arbitrary number of inequality functions. We not only state its validity under a weak convexity assumption on the functions, but also show it is an optimal result. We…

For a graph $G$, let $f(G)$ denote the size of the maximum cut in $G$. The problem of estimating $f(G)$ as a function of the number of vertices and edges of $G$ has a long history and was extensively studied in the last fifty years. In this…
In this research, we investigate a general shape optimization problem in which the state equation is expressed using a nonlocal and nonlinear operator. We prove the existence of a minimum point for a functional $F$ defined on the family of…
